bubba Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I found a thompson center 50 caliber grey hawk at a garage sale for 75 bucks. Gun looks new sidelock stainless barrel and furniture. Bore looks new. I put a set of fiber optic sites on it. I plan to take it to the range with patched round balls and pyrodex rs. If I can get it dialed in, I plan to use it for early ml along with my inherited 54 renegade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top ramen Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 That rocks. Guns at garage sale usually are overpriced for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setters4life Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 $75 is a steal. I've never had the patience for PRB's. Had good luck and accuracy with the Maxi-Balls in the T/C. Good luck with it and great find! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noahmstone Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) I hear stories like this all the time. I have seen people pick up .22's for $10-20. I have never been lucky enough to find a gun other than a bb gun and an old shot gun that they wanted over $1000 for at a garage sale let alone find a good deal on one. My uncle has bought 2 climbers one for $20 one for $25 and a bunch of hang on stands for $10-$15 a piece and one ladder stand for $20. The best I can ever find for hunting equipment is old worn out camo clothes that doesn't fit and is almost as much as they want new in the store. But I still stop and look anyway. Nice looking gun you got there btw. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk. Edited September 3, 2012 by noahmstone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 I hope to shoot it tomorrow evening. I had to change the fiber optic on the front site. They were all three green. Put a red one on the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 I got it out and shot it today. 50 yards 4 inch groups with old eyes and open sights. 80 grains of goex ffg black powder ox yoke 10 thousandths patch and 490 round balls. Rws caps. I am very happy so far. The only bad part will be grtting more goex. I do have some pyrodex as much as I hate the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
